Montrose

Montrose is a sport weight sweater in the “rose” series, sister pattern to DK [Melrose](/patterns/library/melrose-9). It features an asymmetrical yoke with berries and exposed floats to create a non geometric pattern. It has a higher neckline with a “petal” hem. The biased increase pattern creates curves for a “softer” look. Inspired by Delft, Wedgwood, and other china. Options for short sleeve and long sleeves. This is an advanced pattern.
